If I were doing a Super Secret Background Check for the University of Michigan, I probably would avoid flying around in a jet plastered with 'University of Michigan.' But your point stands that this is, in fact, telling.

I really hope this is wrong, but obviously if Les is the guy this is a requirement for getting it done.

Actually, I don't mind if it is Les as long as he is forced to hire a "clock" coach. This would serve to prevent me from having a heart attack when an important game slips away as a result of his time mismanagement.

Well if they were looking to fly a plane down there that won't attract massive attention, that's a huge fail. It certainly would be one hell of a coincidence. I wonder when LSU is scheduled to return from the Cotton Bowl. Tomorrow evening?

Take a look at the log - the plane was only in Baton Rouge for 2 hours. However, that doesn't explain why it went from Thomasville (FL - GA border) to Baton Rouge to Savannah... Baton Rouge is very out of the way.

Ray Drew is from Thomasville, GA. Tom Lemming said recruits like Drew were considering Michigan but may change their mind b/c of the coaching change. Makes sense to stop by and visit Drew's family to reassure them.

The plan is to use the jet as a distration while DB's crack team of ninja's are deployed to several undisclosed locations around the US and abroad. They will use their sat-link technology to synchronize action and disable all coaching candidates for further questioning. All will be flown into a remote desert island where DB and his minions are waiting for the ceremony to begin.

After administering truth cerum to all in attendance, DB will smartly ask each in turn who is the best coach present to build the Michigan football program back to dominance. He will then cross reference this data with four other devastatingly diabolical questions which I cannot divulge at this time (I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you).

Once all data is uncovered, he will reprogram each coach to forget the entire experience. He will also add a mental directive to make sure and lose any head to head matchups with Michigan for the rest of their existance. Then he will quickly return all back to their previous locations in less than 6 hours. No one has ever known what lengths the Brandonator will go to acccomplish world domination.....until now.

The 49ers have announced a press conference at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, apparently to introduce Jim Harbaugh as their next head coach. That will be quite a coup, considering that in the past few days it appeared Harbaugh was going to choose the Dolphins or remain at Stanford.

Could they be interviewing him, D Coordinator for the Saints? This is just a guess, I have no reason to think this other than the fact that DB said something along the lines of wanting Defensive minded people, and Williams is that.

I am officiall burned out from reading all of the posts about CC. It seems every day there is a new possibility, which is logical but this only reminds me of three years ago and getting all excited over nothing.

Plus I don't think his terrible clock management skills can be so easily dismissed. This guy is literally the worst I've ever seen in my entire life at it. It's uncanny. Also he's 57 so how long would he be here anyway?

JoPa is like 100 so, ah, a long time. Also what is Hoke like 53, there is no difference between 57 and 53. If UM wanted someone to be here for 30 years they would go with a young up and coming 30 something coordinator.

This can be easily handled, a directive from DB... Coach Miles, no oversigning. There, done! The clock management thing is a little different but, to be honest, RichRod had his clock issues this year as well IMO.

This is the actual fake conversation on the plane 20 minutes after it landed. It begins with Brandon returning to the plane:

Mary Sue Coleman: Damn it Dave, where the hell have you been? I have eaten every Chex mix and peanut packet on this damn plane. If I keep this up, I will end up looking like Hillary Clinton!

Dave Brandon: What, didn't you like the pizza I left for you?

MSC: Uh, no. Now, where the hell is Les Miles?

DB: Well, funny thing. Coach Miles appears to be in Dallas. I have been told that there is a so-called "Cotton Bowl" today in which LSU is playing. Who knew?

MSC: Oh, what the fuck! Dave, how could you not know that? It's just like Tuesday when I had to tell you what "NFL" meant and why we lost darling Jimmy.

DB nervously drinks water and looks to the side for no apparent reason.

MSC: Not this shit again! David - look at straight at me and tell me that we didn't waste a plane trip down here!

DB: Mary Sue, I have to blame Rich Rod. I played for Bo and he always knew when the Cotton Bowl was. Rich should have told me.

MSC: You fired him. You can't blame him anymore, You own this mess!

DB: But, I am a strong willed CEO. Look at my pimp hand!

MSC: Good heavens. Since we are here, lets go visit Lloyd in Hilton Head. Maybe he has some vodka I can pound.

DB: Sounds good to me! Hey, do you think he would like some pizza?

Then the plane took off and the fake audio stopped, Of course, like everything else on this blog for the last month, this is based on pure speculation and stems from soul crushing worry over what appears to be total cluster. The vodka pounding thing, however, is a good idea.
